What I really want to say is silent
Like the growing of grasses
Or the sap that rises in a tree.
What I really want to say is silent
Like muted bird song
Or the crashing of waves on a distant shore.
What I really want to say is silent
like a volcano
Or a sound system at a festival.
What I really want to say is silent
Like a woman screaming on a mountain
Like wolf howl beneath star light
Like a toddler who has just lost their ice cream
What I really want to say will always be silent
To those who refuse to hear.
